I think the thread title says it all "fast tiling", to my mind it is fast, certainly faster than I could manage. I think Dean is on top of his game and working very efficiently, surely that's to be applauded.

Why is that what this is all about? You want to get banned from an online forum?
Q
Qwerty
Couldnt agree more Doug.
My issue Deano was that you were quoting "my" work ethics, replying to "my" posts and being openly proud of causing upset.
I now understand that the underlying issue WAS with others (I think). I never slated fast tiling, but added some tongue in cheek humour to lighten the atmosphere. Even this got flipped around to try to start an argument. I have now read through the entire "DIY bathroom" thread which created this monster. In there
Deano you are partial to "mocking" Ash about his speed, but he took it as a joke (which I assume you meant it to be).........
Sadly it is one of those threads which was clearly created to end this way. As [MENTION=22801]Bri[/MENTION] said posting of this nature is tantamount to trolling and [MENTION=33317]AliGage[/MENTION] thankyou for shedding some light on how this thread has come to be in existence....I think it may have been your "yeeeeeeah" comment that started it.
I love a good discussion as much as the next tiler, but WILL stand up for myself and others when directly targeted Deano. You stated how much you get the hump when slow tilers slate fast tilers yet you refuse to acknowledge that people take offence at you slating how slow they are. To me arrogance really is a repulsive character trait.
If you haven't got a sound basis for your argument, then don't enter into one. In order for any argument to be valid the conclusion must follow logically from the basis and it has to be a non-fallacious logical form.....the exact opposite of your approach.
Quality not quantity comes first.........then the longer you have been doing it.....the faster you should get, but not so fast that your quality suffers. We all have had jobs where the substrate has been perfect, and you could almost throw the tiles and they land spot on.......but those jobs are few and far between.
The older we all get, the slower we become.
Why rush anything.

The arroganc of people is why I started this thread. Why is it whenever someone mentions they tile x amount in x time people feel the need to say they may be slower but it is because the put more in to it than the one going faster than them ??
I have a valid point and I do not start something if I think I am wrong.
yes I have poked fun at ash and I have always told him the truth about what I think but it was not ash that was Bering questions was it. The tiler that ash is working for is doing a job on site and that is a lot different to domestic tiling. Ash said his gaffer did 33m2 in a day and the very next post was a negative post about back buttering then there was a post mor or less calling him a liar and a nother comment about getting hurt from the tiles as they are thrown down.
IMO it is theads like that one that are the bad ones on this forum there was no need for it and it was someone eylses tread.

so here is what I did yesterday and today , tiles were already on site the floor was scraped, hoovered , primed and ditra matted the day before , about 75m2 tiled by me and another lad all tiles were back spread and the floor was bedded out with adhesive where needed . started at 9 am finished at 4 the first day started at 8.30am and finished at 5pm this evening and also latexed a small 10m2 utility floor as well , nothing special we didnt rush just worked at a normal pace left the place clean and tidy and put all our waste in the skip. I know tilers like PJC has guys that knock out 60m2 plus a day on their own to a fair standard on shop floors and do this day in and day out

Looks great mate, 2 days is bloody good. I really have to find someone to work with more often, i do 99% of jobs on my own and a floor like that would prob take me about 5 days 'odd'. Not so sure it's working out cost effective for me to keep doing it on my own, yeah i get a bigger lump of money but it is so much graft on your todd, all the washing, tidying, mixing etc takes up so much time. Trying to find a laborer is bloody difficult though.............
If you get anything you want a hand on mate gis a bell if your normal fellers aint available, i'm in Broxborne (hertford) so only down the 414.
